* Ritva (Sukkah 31b) brings two proofs for this answer of Tosfot that there's no baal tosif when repeating a mitzvah from birkat cohanim. Even though the kohanim already did birkat cohanim once they're allowed to do it again for another congregation and it isn't baal tosif. That indicates that there's no baal tosif when repeating a mitzvah. Magen Avraham 128:40 makes the same point. Ritva brings another proof from the fact that it is permitted to daven twice for nedava. [Seemingly, this isn't a proof since davening another time is a mitzvah kiyumit and shouldn't be under the consideration for baal tosif at all. Rav Tzadok (Meyshiv Tzedek 47) makes this point in challenging Ritva. Tzror Hamor (Rotlevi p. 87) also asks this.]</ref> | |||
## Some say that saying Shema at night before its time with intent to fulfill the mitzvah is Baal Tosif, while others argue that there can't be Baal Tosif to say Shema since it is learning Torah.<ref>Igrot Moshe 2:60 s.v. umah writes the Mishna Brurah implies that there's Baal Tosif if one says Shema too early with intent to fulfill the mitzvah, therefore one should have intent not to fulfill the mitzvah. Rav Moshe argues that Shema is essentially a piece of Torah and there's prohibition to relearn Torah multiple times. Divrei Yatziv 57:10 agrees with Rav Moshe. (Beit Yosef 48:1 s.v. vein could be a proof to Rav Moshe as he writes that saying parshat tamid twice isn't baal tosif.) See, however, Chavot Daat (Bet Hasafek Safek Safeka n. 20) who writes that saying Shema twice even within the obligated time is prohibited.</ref> | ## Some say that saying Shema at night before its time with intent to fulfill the mitzvah is Baal Tosif, while others argue that there can't be Baal Tosif to say Shema since it is learning Torah.<ref>Igrot Moshe 2:60 s.v. umah writes the Mishna Brurah implies that there's Baal Tosif if one says Shema too early with intent to fulfill the mitzvah, therefore one should have intent not to fulfill the mitzvah.
